Michael's Song Mason Jennings
Song: Michael?s Song
Artist: Mason Jennings
Tuning: Half Step Down
Another tab from Mason's new album, The Flood. The whole album is amazing and I will try
to tab through it when I find the time... Here is one of the most simple on the album
though. No complicated picking or anything, just simple chord strumming patterns. Listen
to the song to help figure it out! Please comment with any suggestions.
